Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 40 Death Arrives, Hunting Moment
"whisper!"

Little Ragnarok flapped her crystalline wings, guiding the moonlight to a seemingly simple stone house.

The mottled stone wall is covered with moss, and the traces of time flow through every crevice.

"Is there really something good in here?"

Yuehui placed her hands on the heavy stone door, tensed her muscles, and pushed hard.

The stone gate remained unmoved, not even disturbed by a speck of dust.

"Ling~?"

Little Rachel tilted her head.

Although she had never set foot in this place, her instincts told her that there must be something the master needed here.

"These kinds of places should all have government agencies or organizations in place."

Moonlight stroked his chin, his gaze sweeping over the patterns on the stone gate.

Suddenly, a cheerful chirping came from behind.

"Ring~!"

Little Ragnarok stopped in front of a dusty stone bead.

She stretched out her small, fair hand, crackling with lightning, her fingertips dancing with tiny purple sparks of electricity.

crackling——

A flash of lightning appeared, and the accumulated dust fell in a flurry.

The originally dull stone bead instantly burst into dazzling light, and the crystal-clear gemstone surface shimmered with starlight-like radiance.

As the gemstone awoke, the silent stone gate emitted a heavy rumble and slowly opened to both sides.

In an instant, a long-forgotten medicinal fragrance wafted over, rich and ancient, as if it had transcended ten thousand years.

Yuehui's pupils contracted slightly as he saw rows of neatly arranged jade vases, their surfaces gleaming with a warm luster in the dim light.

"Pills?" He paused, then a look of shock flashed in his eyes. "So many?!"

The entire stone chamber resembled an ancient treasure trove of elixirs, with at least a thousand jade bottles displayed on the shelves, each sealed tightly, seemingly still waiting for its owner to use them.

"A demigod-level pill repository!" Yuehui's heart raced, a burning desire appearing in his eyes. "If we could find even one intact pill, that would be..."

He suppressed his excitement, cautiously surveyed his surroundings, and only stepped inside after confirming that there were no remaining restrictions or traps.

He casually picked up a jade bottle, uncorked it, and a perfectly round pill rolled into his palm.

However, at the very moment of contact with air—

sieve!
The elixir instantly weathered away, turning into a handful of fine ash that drifted through the gaps between the fingers.

Yuehui frowned and opened more than a dozen jade bottles in succession.

Swish! Swish! Swish!
Without exception, all the pills vanished into thin air the moment they appeared in the world, as if their existence had been erased by time, leaving only empty shells.

"Sigh..." Yuehui sighed, shook his head with a bitter smile, "Indeed, ten thousand years can wear down even mountains, let alone elixirs?"

"whisper!"

Suddenly, Little Leiji flapped her wings and took flight, pointing her little finger to a stone shelf at the deepest part of the alchemy room, and let out a rapid cry.

"Anything discovered?"

Moonlight's gaze sharpened, and she immediately dropped the weathered jade bottle in her hand, quickly walking towards the direction Little Lei Ji pointed.

On the stone shelf, dozens of dark blue animal hide scrolls were neatly arranged. Each scroll was imprinted with intricate lightning patterns and faintly glowed with spiritual light, clearly indicating that they were no ordinary objects.

"These scrolls... can actually withstand the erosion of time?"

Moonlight carefully took down a roll, and the moment her fingertips touched the animal hide, she felt a faint trace of lightning power flowing beneath it.

The scroll unfolds, covered with obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient characters, but the interspersed patterns of medicinal herbs and refining techniques are clearly discernible—this is an ancient elixir formula!

"Good stuff!" Moonlight's eyes gleamed.

Although it is uncertain whether the materials required for these elixir formulas can still be found, or even whether they are still applicable to today's cultivation system, their age and origin alone make them priceless treasures!

It should be noted that the "Holy Spirit Pill" auctioned on the second floor of the Demon Hunter Guild Trading Center is an improved version of a pill formula left over from a glorious era.

These are pill formulas preserved by demigod-level experts, and their value is simply immeasurable!
Even if they don't need it themselves, offering it to the high-ranking members of the Holy Alliance or bringing it back to the Moon Demon Clan would be enough to exchange for amazing resources!
"What's mine, it's all mine!"

……

At the other end of the temple's dimly lit space, wild laughter echoed between the stone walls.

"Hahahaha! What are those heaven-defying demonic dragons? What are those moon demon nobles? The one who will ultimately obtain the demigod's inheritance is me, Lei Xiong!"

A burly figure stood before a pool of lightning, the water crackling with electricity, reflecting his ferocious yet excited face.

In the center of the pool, an ancient stone tablet stands majestically, its surface wrapped in dark purple lightning patterns, radiating a suffocating pressure.

Lei Xiong stared at the inscription on the stone tablet, his rugged brows furrowing: "What kind of scribbling is this?"

He scratched his head, then quickly spat impatiently, "Who cares! Let's move out first!"

If he can decipher even a few words of this demigod's inheritance, he might be able to gain the approval of the tenth demon god pillar!

At that time, all those in the tribe who once despised him will kneel at his feet!

"Just you wait... I'll make you pay the price!"

Thunder Bear let out a low roar and suddenly stepped into the Thunder Pool.

"Crackling sound—!!"

A violent lightning bolt instantly assaulted his entire body, and the electric current felt like thousands of ants gnawing at his bones, causing him to tremble with pain.

But he gritted his teeth and endured the excruciating pain, taking step by step toward the stone tablet.

"Get up, you son of a bitch!!!"

His arms were bulging with muscles and veins, and his eyes were bloodshot from exertion.

He gradually shook the heavy stone tablet, causing fragments of stone to crumble and fall away.

however--

The moment the stone tablet was pulled up, a cloud of deathly gray-white mist suddenly erupted from the base, instantly engulfing the Thunder Bear!

"Wh...what is that?! Ah—!!!"

A piercing scream echoed through the Thunder Pool, but soon everything fell silent.

Thunder Bear's body suddenly convulsed violently, and its bones made a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.

He slowly straightened up, and his once strong muscles visibly withered away, his skin gradually turning a deathly gray color.

"Hehehe," his lips twisted into an inhuman arc, almost reaching his ears, revealing his gleaming white teeth, "Twenty thousand years, a full twenty thousand years!"

Wisps of grayish-white mist seeped from his seven orifices, condensing around him into a tangible aura of death.

Those once scarlet eyes had now turned into two bottomless black holes, as if they could devour all life.

“I am Thanatos, the Grim Reaper.” His voice suddenly split into countless overlapping echoes, reverberating in the confined space, “Finally… I have seen the light of day again.”

He looked down at the newly acquired body, his withered fingers lightly tracing the dry skin: "Lightning element? What a disgusting attribute."

"Moreover, its strength is too weak, not even one ten-millionth of the power I had at my peak."

But soon, he calmed down eerily and let out a chilling chuckle:
"However... Demons? Interesting." A wisp of deathly aura condensed at his gray fingertips.

"Use you lowly ants to help this god return to his peak."
